Seller has a "Tikit" but isn't sure what size it is.

Is the BB stamped with a size??

thx

I don't think so. Check with bike friday to see how many sizes of frames they have for tikits and how to determine what size this bike is. Much of the bf "sizing is done with custom stems to adjust bar height and reach.

Specifications
The tikit was available in three sizes: small, medium, and large. The effective top tube for the three sizes is 50 cm (19.69 in) (small), 55 cm (21.65 in) (medium), and 60 cm (23.62 in) (large). The size-Large tikit was built with a slightly thicker tubing to support larger riders. The weight for the small and medium sizes is about 24 pounds (10.9 kg). The large size is about 25 pounds (11.3 kg). When folded, the size-Small tikit fits into a 15×24×35-inch (38×61×89 cm) space.


From Wiki

If the frame is the right size for you bf will probably work with you to get the stem/steerer for your best fit.

The issue is I don't want to drive 2 hours to find out it's a medium.

I meant if the seller measures the frame and it's the right size bf will help you fine tune the fit.

I meant if the seller measures the frame and it's the right side bf will help you fine tune the fit.
